How to Create White Spot Data in Photoshop
• Name – Enter the name "Spot 1". This name is specifically reserved in RIP-Queue
for this type of workflow, using any other name requires more steps to make spot in-
formation addressed by the Rip software.
Note: For instructions on how to use a naming convention other than Spot 1, refer
to the sub-section at the end of this section "Naming Your Spot Data".
• Opacity – Set the opacity to 10%
• Edit the channel COLOR by double-clicking on the swatch. Set the spot color in
PhotoShop to a color similar to the spot ink in your printer. Since white can be hard
to distinguish, this COLOR can be any value that will help you see the design better.

and then add the spot channel as described above. The example below shows what your
workspace may look like with a 50% and 100% flood fill. If you need to see your image
for editing purposes, simply turn off the visibility of the Spot Channel.
Note:
When processing this file in ProductionHouse, media layers must be set up using a spot
layer to represent this data, as program identifies this as a Spot layer, rather than a flood.
